Review: G.I. Combat #1

By Brian Salvatore | May 4, 2012 | Reviews

The most perplexing of the Next Wave titles, “GI Combat” is the latest war comic from DC. Just last month, DC gave the axe to “Men of War” and “Blackhawks,” two war books that didn’t sell very well or engender a passionate fanbase. And so, in their desire to keep publishing a war book, they […]

Cover for World's Finest #1

Review: World’s Finest #1

By Walt Richardson | May 4, 2012 | Reviews

Huntress and Power Girl are two fan-favorite female characters, so it only makes sense for DC to give them a new team-up book as part of their second wave of new comics. The catch? They’re from Earth 2. The catch to that? They’re from Earth 2, but are now in the post-Flashpoint DC Universe. Is […]

Review: Dial H #1

By Gilbert Short | May 3, 2012 | Reviews

As part of their New 52 Second Wave, DC relaunched one of their more ambitious titles in their catalog, “Dial H” (formerly for Hero). Let’s see if it’s as successful as it is ambitious. As a note, the review discusses mild spoilers. Written by China Mieville Illustrated by Mateus Santolouco A brand new series by […]

Review: Earth 2 #1

By Brian Salvatore | May 3, 2012 | Reviews

When “Earth 2” was originally announced, it was presumed to be a book that featured the characters from the classic incarnation of the Justice Society of America (JSA from here on out): Jay Garrick/The Flash, Alan Scott/Green Lantern, Ted Grant/Wildcat, etc. However, when solicit information was released about “Earth 2” #1, the cover of Superman, […]

Supreme #64 Cover

Review: Supreme #64

By Walt Richardson | May 3, 2012 | Reviews

Company-owned comics often undergo dramatic creative shifts. It is the nature of the beast, and certainly is not inherently negative; a writer who is drastically different from the preceding writer can bring to light qualities of the character that the previous writer only glossed over. Erik Larsen is a incredibly different writer from Alan Moore, […]

Advance Review: Mind the Gap #1

By David Harper | May 1, 2012 | Reviews

Another new title from Image Comics drops tomorrow, and it comes from a trio of huge talents in Jim McCann, Rodin Esquejo and Sonia Oback. If you’re still on the fence about whether or not you should pick this book up, I have a completely spoiler-free (this is a book you want to know little […]

Review: Telltale’s Walking Dead Episode One: “A New Day”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 30, 2012 | Reviews

Last week, Telltale Games released the first installment of their Walking Dead episodic videogame on all platforms except iOS (which will come later, I’m told). It’s done in the signature cross-genre Telltale style, combining role-playing staples with the action elements you’d expect from a zombie game. However, Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising this is […]

Five Thoughts on Game of Thrones’ “The Ghost of Harrenhal”

By David Harper | Apr 30, 2012 | Reviews

Another week, another look at the obnoxiously consistent Game of Thrones. Have I ever mentioned it is often more fun to write scathing commentary on a TV show than it is constant compliments? Damn Team GoT for making this show so good. You can find my five biggest thoughts on last night’s “The Ghost of […]

Review: Superman #8

By Gilbert Short | Apr 27, 2012 | Reviews

Oh no, I’ve seen enough anime to know how this ends. Here’s hoping it doesn’t get too dirty past the cut, this is a family blog after all! Written by Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens Illustrated by by Dan Jurgens and Jesus Merino Superman, agent of the Daemonites?! How has Helspont bent The Man of […]

Review: Justice League Dark #8/I, Vampire #8

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 27, 2012 | Reviews

This crossover, ‘Rise of the Vampires,’ was really the tale of two books at very different points in their arc: “I, Vampire” has been a critical success, with beautiful art, complex characters and some interesting guest stars. “Justice League Dark,” despite coming from the more celebrated author, has been a bit of a slow go […]

Review: Popeye #1

Review: Daredevil #11

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 27, 2012 | Reviews

The new “Daredevil” has earned praise left and right, and not just here at Multiversity – everyone loves this book. Everyone, that is, except for me. It seems all I do is complain and whine about the old days. My opinion is fairly unpopular like that. However, the “Omega Effect” crossover between two books I […]

Review: Captain American Idol #1

By Walt Richardson | Apr 27, 2012 | Reviews

At its best, parody attempts to wittily comment on the state of our culture through the trends in our media – novels, film, comics, and more. At its worst, it is a lazy attempt to make a quick buck. Rich Johnston’s “Captain American Idol” falls somewhere in between these two extremes. The question is, how […]

Review: Bloodstrike #27

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 26, 2012 | Reviews

The quality of the Extreme Studios relaunch is one of the more surprising comics stories of the year, with both “Prophet” and “Glory” getting rave reviews and needing second printings. But not much has been said about “Bloodstrike” – hit the cut to rectify that. Written by Tim Seeley Illustrated by Franchesco Gaston The newly […]

Review: Star Wars: Blood Ties – Boba Fett is Dead #1

By Gilbert Short | Apr 26, 2012 | Reviews

Boba Fett is dead! Wait, does anyone actually believe that? Check the cut for my thoughts on the Galactic scourge of the Underworld possibly being one with the force or something. Written by Tom Taylor Illustrated by Chris Scalf The news spreads from one end of the galaxy to the other like wildfire: Boba Fett, […]

Buffyversity: Angel and Faith #9

By Gilbert Short | Apr 26, 2012 | Reviews

Daddy Issues continues! This time Angel deals with the fall out of his past when Faith attempts to repair her troubled emotions by going to see Drusilla and her Trauma Sucking Demon Buddy. Violence (and spoilers!) will definitely follow the cut, so jump with caution! Written by Christos Gage Illustrated by Rebekah Isaacs Still reeling […]

Review: Li’l Depressed Boy #10

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 26, 2012 | Reviews

I’m going to be 100% frank here: our love of “Li’l Depressed Boy” is so well documented here at Multiversity that a quote from our review begins the book description for the first volume trade (seriously). We love the book, we love to tell you about the book, and we love to show off things […]

Review: Ultimate Comics: Ultimates #9

By Walt Richardson | Apr 26, 2012 | Reviews

That crazy Reed! What will he do next? Hickman continues to destroy everything in the Ultimate Universe that isn’t related to the other two Ultimate ongoings, and appealing to everyone who always wanted to see Reed go off the deep end – and don’t claim that you weren’t one of them. The question is if […]

Advance Review: X-O Manowar #1

By David Harper and Chad Bowers | Apr 25, 2012 | Reviews

For fans of 90’s comics, the name Valiant Comics is a pretty big deal. Once upon a time, they were one of the biggest names in the industry, and now they’re making a comeback. In fact, next week brings the launch of their first title, the rebooted “X-O Manowar.” To celebrate, myself and fellow MC […]

HBO’s Game of Thrones is back this week with another episode of premium television goodness, and we’re here once again to provide five thoughts on the week’s episode, titled “Garden of Bones.” What’d I think of it?
